If anyone has the courage, demolish the red mansion, I will demolish it brick by brick, Sheikh Rashid


The Abandoned Waqf Property Board has sealed Lal Haveli, the residence and political headquarters of former Federal Interior Minister and Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed.


Deputy Administrator Waqf Amalak Asif Khan reached Lal Haveli with a heavy contingent of police and sealed some of its units. A large number of police and FIA officials were also present on the occasion.


On this occasion, Asif Khan said that Sheikh Rashid and his brother are illegally occupying 7 units of waqf property including Lal Haveli. Despite several notices, Sheikh Rashid could not submit the authentic documents of the land. The court has also rejected Sheikh Rasheed's injunction request.


If you have the courage, demolish the red mansion
